Welcome
to O'Riley Karate Center.
Steven O'Riley's Wado Karate Center was
founded October 1st, 1994. Sensei O'Riley began his training in Wado-Ryu in 1984, under the guidance
of 7th Dan Taylor Hayden, O'Riley-San received his Black Belt in June of 1988, currently holds the rank of
Roku-Dan --6th Degree Black
Belt-- and holds a special honor of having trained personally weekly under Shihan Cecil
T. Patterson since 1997 up until Sensei Patterson's death in 2002.
An avid and successful competitor,
Sensei O'Riley has earned title after title in both kata and kumite, most
notably, winning the USEWF kumite Championships a record seven years, and being named fighter of the decade at the 2000 USEWF Championships.
In addition, he holds the distinction of being a recipient of the 1998 President's
Award, one of the USEWF's most prestigious honors for service to the
Federation, and awarded by Shihan Patterson himself. Recently, O'Riley-san
fulfilled another chapter in his Wado career by traveling to England and
participating in the 2004 Winter seminars under Grandmaster Hironori Ohtsuka
II, Sensei Masafumi Shiomitsu and other dedicated Wadoka from around the
world, for three days of intensive, advanced training.
Marking his many years as one of
the USEWF's most respected instructors, O'Riley-San celebrated the
opening of his new dojo in Antioch,
Tennessee in March of 2000, and now conducts as many
as 21 day and evening classes each week for adults and children; nearly all
taught personally by Sensei O'Riley himself. O'Riley
Karate Center offers complete training for the dedicated martial artist and
athlete.
O'Riley Karate has 2 locations. His
oldest dojo was opened in March of 2000 located at 2444
Morris Gentry Blvd. in Antioch, Tennessee -- just up the hill from Morris
Gentry's intersection with Bell Road. His second dojo opened in Smyrna at the
Publix Shopping Center located just off of Sam Ridley Parkway. Address
for this location is 667 President Place, Smyrna, TN 37167. For more
